Texas runoff election results: County-by-county live maps for key races
Voters will settle several nomination races, including Cornyn against Paxton, with winners advancing to November and facing Democratic and Republican opponents.
Texans head to polls on Tuesday, May 26 for primary runoffs deciding several high-profile races, including a Republican Senate matchup between Incumbent Senator John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Cornyn's top vote-getter finish in the March 3 primary with strong GOP challenger showings forced the four-term incumbent into Tuesday's head-to-head matchup, after President Donald Trump endorsed Paxton on May 19.
State Representative Vikki Goodwin faces Marcos Velez for the Democratic nomination for Texas Lieutenant Governor, with the winner advancing to face Democratic state Representative James Talarico in November.
The Republican Senate victor will face incumbent Republican Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick in the general election, while several congressional races are also headed to Tuesday's runoff.
Multiple nomination decisions on Tuesday will determine the final slate of candidates for November's general election, with the Cornyn-Paxton matchup testing Trump's influence in Texas Republican primary politics.
